Whither primary school footy?

Primary school football seems to be a thing of the past. Most ovals at the schools I am familiar with either have no goalposts or they are obviously not in use (one missing, for instance). Marcus was discussing this on the way to school this morning. I mentioned that I had seen a framed football jumper in the hallway at his school, perhaps the school guernsey from days of yore. He thought for a moment then said "I wonder what they were called - maybe the Hobart Hopelesses. If they weren't any good, I mean".
